State police are looking for the man who tried to rob a New Castle area 7-Eleven early Wedneday morning.

A man in dark clothing approached the 7-Eleven at 284 Christiana Road around 4 a.m. wearing a hooded sweatshirt over his face and tried to gain access to the store, which had been locked while a clerk cleaned, police said.

The man walked around the outside of the store before attempting to gain entry at the front door. Police said he implied he had a weapon, but did not display one.

He was refused entry and fled toward the Georgetown Manor Apartments. There were no injuries.
